Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was feeling good after a 45-21 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Monday night.

And why shouldn't he have been? The former Auburn star had just turned in a statistical line that had been achieved only three times in NFL history, and he did so for the second time in his career with four touchdown passes and 95 rushing yards in the game.

So in his postgame press conference, Newton woke up a drowsy reporter, gave a "War Eagle" for Auburn's "expected" victory over Georgia and staged a fake walkout, poking fun at himself and the reporters.

Newton led the Panthers to their third straight victory on Monday night by completing 21-of-35 passes for 254 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions and ran for 95 yards on five carries. Newton's rushing total included a 69-yard run.
